I placed my order and it was up within 5 minutes even tho the place was very busy. I got the Miso ginger chicken taco's. They were yummy, the chicken was tender and flavorful and the corn tortillas soft and delicious. This Lil establishment sits right on the water. Great place to hang out or catch the water taxi to downtown Seattle.
